Israel has become a villain in the eyes of the world, and she is filled with tumult.
Idols internally and bloodshed externally. “Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying, “Now, son of man, will you judge, will you judge the bloody city? Yes, show her all her abominations! Then say, ‘Thus says the Lord God: The city sheds blood in her own midst, that her time may come; and she makes idols within herself to defile herself. You have become guilty by the blood which you have shed, and have defiled yourself with the idols which you have made.” Ezekiel 22:1-3

God motivates Ezekiel to judge Israel, which was called the bloody city, and that had idols within. Today, the combination of actions by the government of the State of Israel and the Israeli citizens describes what is said in this verse. The government of the State of Israel has turned Israel into a bloody city and the Israeli citizens are motivated by the false god of this world. By the bloodshed, the time of Israel has come, meaning her demise has come.

God’s way is one of peace, humility, meekness, and gentleness, not one of bombs, guns, and bloodshed, as God says, “‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’” Zachariah 4:6 In that light, Israel is far from the will of God as they have been in 18 wars since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, even a war in 1948,  Click for a list of those wars and scroll close to the bottom of the page. 

While the government of the State of Israel is involved in continuous bloodshed externally, the Israeli citizens are serving the false god within themselves. They serve the entity that gives them what to think, feel, do, and say which motivates them to riot and protest against their own government. They demand that the Israeli government conform to the will of the United Nations. The goal of the United Nations is to unify the Middle East in order to be established as the one world government. The independence of Israel is an obstacle to that goal. The Israeli citizens have joined with the global culture in protests against the independence of Israel.

Internal to the human body exist the entity giving people what to think, feel, do, and say. This entity replaces the human spirit and conscience as a wall is built against Jesus Christ. Atheism is fostered as belief in God is opposed and the presence of the Holy Spirit is suppressed. The Holy Spirit internally restrains lawlessness and bloodshed from appearing externally, “For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.” 2 Thessalonians 2:7-8 Click here for a post on the “lawless one”.

God intends for us to wage the spiritual battle through Jesus Christ, not an earthly battle, “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” Ephesians 6:12 “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!” Romans 10:15

The days of Israel has drawn to a close as she is a reproach to all nations. “You have caused your days to draw near, and have come to the end of your years; therefore I have made you a reproach to the nations, and a mockery to all countries. Those near and those far from you will mock you as infamous and full of tumult.” Ezekiel 22:4-5.

As seen in the previous verse, Ezekiel 22:3, the end of the years of Israel comes as a result of bloodshed. Today, because of the bloodshed caused by the government of the State of Israel, God has made them very much disapproved of by all nations and a mockery to all countries. Those in the Middle East and those across the ocean are made to see Israel as being infamous and full of tumult.

The Israeli government has been made infamous and a mockery in the Middle East and across the globe because of the insatiable appetite for war and aggression, being in 18 wars since the State of Israel was established in 1948.

Today, the nations and countries nearby and far away meet together at the United Nations as the global government. In their eyes, the government of Israel is very much disapproved of and is made a mockery to them. Israel has been made infamous around the world because of being full of tumult. In January 2024, the members of the United Nations opened a case of genocide against the State of Israel, World Court to hear Genocide Case Against Israel. The UN has also pursued arrest warrants against Israeli government officials for allegedly committing war crimes. Around February 20, 2024, the United States agreed with the United Nations and declared that it was illegal for the Israelis to occupy the West Bank, Click here for news article on “White House reverses West Bank policy, calling Israeli settlements illegal“. Also, US Imposes Sanctions On Israeli Settler Outposts. On top of that, the global culture from cities around the world express their reproach and mockery against the infamous and tumultuous government of the State of Israel.

The independence of the government of the State of Israel is seeing the end of her years coming near. With all of the reproach and mockery coming against Israel as an infamous and tumultuous state, she is being overwhelmed to conform to global standards. The goal of the United Nations is to be established as the one world government, and the worse Israel looks in the eyes of the world, the closer that goal is to being realized. As the independence of Israel is whittled away, with her military and police action practically being outlawed, conformity to the unification of the Middle East is beginning to form.

The “Two State Soultion” is being imposed upon Israel to comply with international law. In the process, the United Nations becomes another step closer to being the one world government. The one world government is the government of the beast that derives its power and authority from the entity with power over physiology to give people what to think, feel, do, and say. This entity enables the image of the beast to speak and live through people in every city. The masses of the global culture are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do.

As Jesus Christ said, “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! See! Your house is left to you desolate; for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’” Matthew 23:37-39

Governors of Israel mislead her is and is filled with much spiritual wickedness.
Governors of Israel use their authority in a way that causes bloodshed. “Look, the princes of Israel: each one has used his arm to shed blood in you.” Ezekiel 22:6 

The princes of Israel were the governors over the Israelites, and they armed themselves in rebellion against their captivity to the king of Babylon. Each one led the Jewish people into bloodshed.

Today, each governor of the State of Israel has used their arm of power to shed blood. The Israelis have been in 17 wars, with 14 Prime Ministers, since the State of Israel was established in 1948, and even a war in 1948. Below is a list of those wars, dates, and the Prime Minister at the time.

Filled with making light of father and mother. “In you they have made light of father and mother…” Ezekiel 22:7a

In a sense, the “father and mother” refers to the origins and ancestry of the Israelites. The Israelites did not take their origins seriously and considered their ancestry unimportant, referring to being led out of Egypt, receiving the Ten Commandments, and the consequences of their rebellion against God in the wilderness. Today, the Israelis do not take their heritage seriously and consider unimportant their rebellious encounter with Jesus Christ, what led them to the State of Israel, and turning away from the will of God 2000 years ago.

Honoring father and mother is one of the Ten Commandments, “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.” Exodus 20:12 Within Israel, like in the United States, and around the world, the entity that gives people what to think, feel, do, and say is very much alive within children. This entity makes light of the role of parents in order to be the unseen parent within the children. Parents are expected to raise their children by the that entity which enables the image of the beast to speak and live through them.

The entity that shapes thoughts, feelings, words, and behaviors of children breeds atheism, discards the need for the forgiveness of sin through Jesus Christ, and suppresses the presence of the Holy Spirit. This makes it especially difficult to be parents who live for God through Jesus Christ and embraces the presence of the Holy Spirit. In fact, Jesus Christ said it is very, very sad for mothers who have children nowadays, “But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days!” Matthew 24:19 The masses of the global culture, including the children of today, are groomed to the mark of the beast in what they say and do. There is even the whole chapter of Revelation 12 that speaks on the extinction of the births born through Jesus Christ.

Filled with oppression of strangers. “…in your midst they have oppressed the stranger…” Ezekiel 22:7b.

The Israelites were abusive and oppressive to anyone who were not Jewish, whom they considered to be strangers. In Jesus Christ, there are no strangers to oppress, “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” Galatians 3:28 However, that is one lesson that the Jewish people have not learned as they cling to the wholeness of being Jewish. By clinging to their Jewish customs, culture, and their inborn Jewish traits, everyone outside the Jewish culture are strangers.

When nations see other people as strangers based on genetic traits, customs, cultures, or territorial borders, it leads to the oppression of the strangers in the form of divisions, conflicts, and war. We see this happening in the Middle East today with the Israelis being pitted against just about everyone else. The oppression of strangers by the Jewish people also refers to the oppression of Jesus Christ and opposing the flowering of Christianity in their culture. They oppress the Gospel of Jesus Christ by throwing out the entire New Testament. They only live by the Old Testament. By doing that, they oppress the will of God for them to receive Jesus Christ as their Savior and they oppress the presence of the Holy Spirit.

Today, the entity that gives people what to think, feel, do, and say considers strangers to be those who oppose its influence in their life. This entity enables the image of the beast to speak and live through people and it oppresses all the strangers who do not want to live according to its influence. The masses of the global culture are those who allow themselves to be groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do. Today’s culture is involved in oppressing the “strangers” who believe in the Living God, acknowledge the need for the forgiveness of sin through Jesus Christ, and embrace the presence of the Holy Spirit. In their feeling of empowerment they boast, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?” Revelation 13:4 The “him” in this verse is the beast of the image and mark of the beast.

Jesus Christ says this to us, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.” Matthew 22:37-40

Filled with mistreatment of the fatherless and widows. “.. in you they have mistreated the fatherless and the widow.” Ezekiel 22:7c.

The Israelites were abusive to those without a father and the widows without a husband. When the man of the house was gone, the remainder of the family were preyed upon. In Jesus Christ, who teaches us to live by the Spirit, we know that the fatherless include those who are without the Living God as their Father. We also know that the widows are those whom the Living God is no longer alive to them. Today, the Jewish people create the fatherless and widows by the cutting them off from the Living God who wants to be a Father and Husband to them. They are being cut off from being raised as the children of God through Jesus Christ and cut off from being married to Him. The Jewish culture is abusive to the fatherless and the widow by refusing them a family life with Jesus Christ as the head of the family.

Today, the entity that has power over physiology to give people what to think, feel, do, and say insists on being the father and head over the family. This entity is abusive and mistreats those who are fatherless and widows because those people do not accept it as their father and husband. This entity enables the image of the beast to speak and live through people as a marriage partnership and father. The global culture, who are its children and marriage partner, are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do.

Pure and undefiled religion is to be merciful and compassionate to the fatherless and widows through Jesus Christ, and to be set apart from the ways of this world, “Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.” James 1:27

Despite for Holy things and Sabbaths. “You have despised My holy things and profaned My Sabbaths.” Ezekiel 22:8

Living for Jesus Christ is the only way to honor the Holy things of God. When the Jewish people rejected God’s will for them to receive Jesus Christ 2000 years ago, they despised His Holy things. As a result, the Jewish Sabbaths have been profaned. Every Holy thing that the Jewish priests use on the Sabbaths to serve God is despised and profaned. They have thrown out the entire New Testament, which is the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and they live only by the Old Testament.

Also, the churches of today have despised the Holy things of God and profaned Sundays. Sundays are supposed to be a time of learning about living a life set apart from the world through the Holy Spirit, to lift up Jesus Christ as the one who gave His life on the Cross to atone for our sin, and to worship the Living God. However, the churches have abandoned the Gospel of Jesus Christ, profaning the purpose of meeting together on Sunday.

The entity with power over physiology to give people what to think, feel, say, and do despises the Holy things of God and causes Sundays to be profaned. This entity sets itself up as God within the temple of God, our body, as if it is God to enable the image of the beast to speak and live through people. The churches are dominated by those who are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do. The entity giving people their thoughts and feelings is the one “…who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” 2 Thessalonians 2:4 Click here for a post on the “man of sin”.

“As for you, son of man, the children of your people are talking about you beside the walls and in the doors of the houses; and they speak to one another, everyone saying to his brother, ‘Please come and hear what the word is that comes from the Lord.’ So they come to you as people do, they sit before you as My people, and they hear your words, but they do not do them; for with their mouth they show much love, but their hearts pursue their own gain. Indeed you are to them as a very lovely song of one who has a pleasant voice and can play well on an instrument; for they hear your words, but they do not do them. And when this comes to pass—surely it will come—then they will know that a prophet has been among them.” Ezekiel 33:30-33

Filled with slander to cause bloodshed. “In you are men who slander to cause bloodshed…” Ezekiel 22:9a

This following verse is a perfect example of slander being used to cause bloodshed, “Now the chief priests, the elders, and all the council sought false testimony against Jesus to put Him to death…” Matthew 26:59 The Israelites of the days of Ezekiel were filled with men who were doing that against other Jewish people and strangers. They were that far from God and that spiritually corrupt.

Today, we can very easily imagine all of the slander taking place in Israel that brings about bloodshed. One Jewish person might slander another relating to having hostile anti-Israel intent, resulting in bloodshed. Neighbors would be saying false things about their neighbors regarding where their loyalties rest: With the enemies of Israel or with the State of Israel? The West Bank, as well as west and east Jerusalem, are filled with so much division and conflict that much bloodshed is a result a slander. This is something like Jesus warned about when He said, “Now brother will deliver up brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death.” Matthew 10:21

The entity that gives people what to think, feel, do, and say is filled with slander against those who oppose its presence. With that slander, we can see the silent killer of the “psychotic lamb” moving across the country and around the world. The silent killer eradicates belief in the Living God, eliminates the Gospel of Jesus Christ, oppresses the presence of the Holy Spirit, and works to put Christianity into extinction. The entity that gives people what to think and feel enables the image of the beast to speak and live through people while slandering and eradicating all the rest. The masses of the global culture are groomed to the mark of the beast as they slander and put down those living for God through Jesus Christ.

 “Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation. All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.” Revelation 13:6-8 The “him” in this verse is the beast of the image and mark of the beast.

Filled with worship of the false god. “… in you are those who eat on the mountains…” Ezekiel 22:9b

“Eating on the mountains” refers to the Israelites feeding their soul with the values of the false god of other nations. They would set up places in the mountains because they believed it brought them closer to the false god. Today, there are those within the State of Israel, the Israeli citizens, who feed on the false god of this world. They are those who riot and protest to demand that the government of Israel conform to the will of the United Nations. The will of the UN is to bring unity to the Middle East by whittling away at the independence of Israel and meshing her with the surrounding Muslim world. With a unified Middle East, the United Nations can progress forward in becoming the one world government.

What is the false god in the mountains that the Israeli citizens and the culture of this world serves today? This is the entity that is above the heights of the clouds and sets itself up as God. It sits within the congregation of people, the world population, by giving them what to think, feel, say, and do. as quoted, “For you have said in your heart: ‘I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregations on the farthest sides of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.’” Isaiah 14:13-14. In Ezekiel chapter 1, the high place above the clouds is associated with the space shuttles, space station, and space satellites.

From the mountain, above the heights of the clouds, comes the ability for the false god of this world to sit within the temple of God, our body, as if it is God. This entity has power over physiology to give people what to think, feel, say, and do. This is the one “…who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” 2 Thessalonians 2:4 Click here for a post on the “man of sin”. This is the entity that enables the image of the beast to speak and live through people as they are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do.

Filled with defiling women and of sexual immorality of all types. “… in your midst they commit lewdness. In you men uncover their fathers’ nakedness; in you they violate women who are set apart during their impurity. One commits abomination with his neighbor’s wife; another lewdly defiles his daughter-in-law; and another in you violates his sister, his father’s daughter.” Ezekiel 22:9c, 10-11

Ezekiel chapter 8 speaks of sensual enticements used to turn people away from Jesus Christ.

The Israelites were crude and offensive in a sexual way that led to various types of sexual offenses. The entire chapter of Leviticus 18, 30 verses, are the laws of God that address whose nakedness not to uncover, which relates to having sex with that person. The female and male Israelites were having sex with their father. This was not just incest but gay incest. Also, the males were having sex with women during their monthly cycle of bleeding, a definite violation of the commandment of God. On top of that, the sexual lewdness extended to the wife of a neighbor, daughters-in-law, and even to sisters.

God and His commandments were far from the mind of the Israelites, which led to every type of sexual immorality. “And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.” Romans 1:28-32

Today, we see a lot of the sexual lewdness of the Israelis because they openly embrace and advocate for the lifestyles of the LGBQT community. The Israelis also have the most liberal abortion rights laws in the world.

Spiritually, we know the Jewish people uncover their father’s nakedness in the sense that they corrupt the heritage of their forefathers as God’s people. The “scarlet cord” in the Old Testament, which points to Jesus Christ as their Savior, isn’t even recognizable in their culture. They violate women during their impurity in the sense that no one is permitted to turn to Jesus Christ from their sin of denying Him within the Jewish culture. Whoever is in the path of those upholding the Jewish culture are subject to the abomination of committing to turning from the will of God by rejecting Jesus Christ. This includes neighbors, in-laws, and siblings.

The masses of today’s culture are filled with lewdness in every way possible as the entity that gives them what to feel, do, say, and think replaces the human conscience and spirit. This entity enables the image of the beast to speak and live through people to motivate their behavior against the will of God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. They violate every member of the family, impure people, neighbors, in-laws, siblings, etc. in order to seduce people to conform to the entity that gives them what to think, feel, do, and say. They have built a global culture that are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do.

Filled with bribery to cause bloodshed, profiting by extortion, and have forgotten God. “In you they take bribes to shed blood; you take usury and increase; you have made profit from your neighbors by extortion and have forgotten Me,” says the Lord God.” Ezekiel 22:12

The culture of the Israelites was filled with people who saw others as objects to be used to get what they could from them. People were seen as ATM machines that just required a few pushes of the button, or some stronger persuasion, to get whatever they could from them. There were those who would take money to take the life of another, the value of life meant nothing to them. There were those who overcharged for services and products to squeeze people for every penny they could, caring nothing for the welfare of those they defrauded. There were those who became rich by extorting others, demanding money in exchange for being spared of injury or death.

The spiritually corrupt Israelites did not think of God at all who commanded them to love Him with all their heart, soul, and mind and to love their neighbors as themselves, as our Lord Jesus says, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.” Matthew 22:37-40

Today, the entity that gives people what to think, feel, do, and say does not see people as the creation of God with a spirit and soul. People are seen as an object that needs to be conformed to the entity that enables the image of the beast to speak and live through them. There is not a thought for the spirit and soul of the person as people are hardened against Jesus Christ. Bribes, usury, and extortion are used to groom the masses of the global culture to the mark of the beast. Bribes, usuary, and extortion are used to turn people away from God the Creator, to make it painful to live for Jesus Christ who puts sin in remission, and to oppress the presence of the Holy Spirit.

Bribes are such things as showing the promise of possessions, money, sexual favors, healings, etc. to seduce a person to live by the entity that has power over physiology to give people their thoughts, feelings, words, and behaviors. Usury includes such tactics that deprive the person of something, whether of a material type, defrauding the human spirit, or taking away social inclusion etc. Usury is the consequence of not living for the entity that wants to form thoughts and feelings. Extortion includes hard looks, threats, force, etc. to intimidate people to live for the entity that gives them what to say and do.

Jesus Christ speaks these words to us that His father God spoke to Ezekiel, “And you, son of man, do not be afraid of them nor be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you and you dwell among scorpions; do not be afraid of their words or dismayed by their looks, though they are a rebellious house. You shall speak My words to them, whether they hear or whether they refuse, for they are rebellious.” Ezekiel 2:6-7

Jesus Christ says to us, “If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.” John 15:18-19 The Apostle Paul said, “ For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.” Romans 8:18

God beats His fist at the dishonest profit and bloodshed at the hands of Israel. “Behold, therefore, I beat My fists at the dishonest profit which you have made, and at the bloodshed which has been in your midst.” Ezekiel 22:13

The Israelites disregarded the two most important commandments that God gave them to live by, which is as our Lord Jesus Christ said, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.” Matthew 22:37-40 Along with treating fellow human beings like one would press buttons on an ATM machine, the culture of the Israelites was filled with bloodshed. They relied on power and might to exert control and domination over others, but God says this, “‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the Lord of hosts.” Zachariah 4:6

Considering the description of the culture of the Israelites in the previous verses, no wonder God beat His fists at their spiritually corrupt behavior.

Each one of the prime ministers of the Israelites were involved in spilling blood. With the corrupt leadership was the corruption of the Israelites themselves. They held no regard for their forefathers, mothers, or fathers. They oppressed those who were not part of their culture and mistreated the fatherless and widows who did not have a man in the house. They despised the Holy things of God and the Sabbaths while serving the false gods of other nations. They slandered and lied about others to cause conflict, violence, and bloodshed while living in sexual immorality. They were having sexual relationships with other’s spouses, neighbors, family members, relatives, etc. They also used bribery to solicit murder and violence along with using extortion to enrich themselves.

What is described in the paragraph above, as given in the previous verses, is summed up in one word, LAWLESSNESS. Jesus Christ gives us the Holy Spirit to restrain lawlessness, and He is given to us by the remission of sin. When Jesus Christ is rejected, the Holy Spirit is not present within the human spirit and conscience and lawlessness is unleashed, as quoted, “For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.” 2 Thessalonians 2:7-8 Click for a post on the “lawless one” and the “man of sin”.

“Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.

Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. 

The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”
2 Thessalonians 2:1-12

Israel is weakened, scattered, and defiled in the eyes of the nations.
God causes the heart of Israel to go weak and their hands to be feeble. “Can your heart endure, or can your hands remain strong, in the days when I shall deal with you? I, the Lord, have spoken, and will do it.” Ezekiel 22:14

The fury of God’s judgment is coming against Israel and without question the Israeli government is becoming disheartened. Their hands are tied to prevent them from doing anything about their dire situation. They have been in non-stop wars since 1948, the members of the United Nations are hostile towards them, and the global culture in cities everywhere riot and protest against their existence.

What happens to Israel will happen to the world government and its global culture. They will be disheartened by the chaos, violence, and all-out lawlessness in cities around the world. Not only will their heart give out, but their hands will be tied and made helpless to do anything to bring peace, safety, comfort, and calm to the planet.

Already, we see the hopelessness of the world government and its global culture in the face of global warming. There are no social or economic policies, no police or military action, and no smooth words or flattery that can require the sun to turn down its heat. Global warming is the Fourth Plague of Revelation 16:8-9. The more powerful the United Nations becomes as the one world government the more intense the heat of the sun becomes.  “I, the Lord, have spoken, and will do it.”

As Jesus Christ reveals, “Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.” Luke 21:26-27

The world government and its global culture have plenty to fear and are helpless to do anything about it. Global warming is instrumental in bringing destruction to the power center of the beast [Fifth Plague of revelation 16:10-11]. That means the power behind this world system will be defunct, no more entity with the power over physiology to give people what to say, do, think, and feel. There will be no more uncanny authority over others, no more uncanny knowledge, heightened intuition, extraordinary skills and talents, and no more amazing physical abilities and accomplishments etc. In that powerlessness, chaos, conflict, and violence overcomes the world leading to the Battle of Armageddon in the Sixth Plague of revelation 16:11-17. Then comes the Day of the Lord and the return of Jesus Christ.

God makes us a promise through His Son Jesus Christ, “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.” John 3:16-17

God scatters the Jewish people across the globe and they are defiled in sight of the nations. “I will scatter you among the nations, disperse you throughout the countries, and remove your filthiness completely from you. You shall defile yourself in the sight of the nations; then you shall know that I am the Lord.'” Ezekiel 22:15 -16

In 70AD, the Roman general Titus destroyed Jerusalem and demolished the Jewish temple. During this period of severe Roman aggression against the Jewish people, we can envision how terribly disheartened the Jewish people were, and their hands were too weak to do anything against the Romans. At this time, the majority of the Jewish people had rejected Jesus Christ as their Savior, did not have His peace within their heart and were still focused on fighting with physical might instead of in His Spirit. Being physically powerless against the Romans and disheartened, they left Jerusalem and were scattered far and wide.

For 1848 years, the scattering and dispersion of the Jewish people continued. That is the time between 70AD to when they were regathered to Israel in 1948. During that time, the Jewish people were spread across all of Europe and even across the ocean. Their filthiness was removed completely from them in the sense that their wholeness as the rebellious house of Israel was disbanded by the hand of God. Across the globe, the Jewish people defiled themselves in the sight of the nations. They were claiming to be the people of God but were disgracefully chased from the land of Israel as well as rejecting Jesus Christ. In Europe, the Jewish people were definitely defiled in their sight, as most evidently seen in the way the Nazis of Hitler’s Germany saw them.

Jesus Christ said, “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! See! Your house is left to you desolate; for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’” Matthew 23:37-39

Even to this day, the Jewish people are scattered all across the world, as seen in the map below. The larger half of the Jewish population lives in Israel, the smaller half lives in the United States, and all the rest are scattered in other countries.

The Jewish people are gathered to Israel to face their judgment.
Israel has become like dross n the fire. “The word of the Lord came to me, saying, “Son of man, the house of Israel has become dross to Me; they are all bronze, tin, iron, and lead, in the midst of a furnace; they have become dross from silver.” Ezekiel 22:17-18

When the Jewish people were scattered and dispersed for 1848 years, from 70AD to 1948, they became dross in the eyes of God. That means they turned from the will of God when rejecting Jesus Christ and grieved the presence of the Holy Spirit. Dross is the scum that forms on the top of melted down metal, it is skimmed off the top and thrown away. The Jewish people became worthless to the purpose of God, whose purpose is to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ to all the world, as Jesus said, “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20

For the most part, the Jewish people have always refused to talk about the testimony of Jesus Christ. They have tossed aside the entire New Testament, which is the gospel of Jesus Christ, and they live only by the Old Testament. The Jewish people are like the cheapest of metals who’s worth as a Jewish culture is of far less value than the worth of the body of Jesus Christ. They are like dross in the fiery trials of this world as they have turned their backs on God by denying that Jesus Christ is their Savior. Their worth to God is between nil and zero.

As members of the body of Jesus Christ, the genuineness of our faith is to stand strong in fiery trials. The value of gold is known as soon as it is tested in the fire, the purer the gold the less dross surfaces to the top. While gold perishes with this world, the worth of our steadfast faith through tribulation brings eternal life. “In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ, whom having not seen you love. Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, receiving the end of your faith—the salvation of your souls. 1 Peter 1:6-8

“Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy. If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified.” 1 Peter 4:12-14

God gathers the Jewish people to Israel because they are dross and to unleash His judgment on them. “Therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘Because you have all become dross, therefore behold, I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem. As men gather silver, bronze, iron, lead, and tin into the midst of a furnace, to blow fire on it, to melt it; so I will gather you in My anger and in My fury, and I will leave you there and melt you. As silver is melted in the midst of a furnace, so shall you be melted in its midst; then you shall know that I, the Lord, have poured out My fury on you.’” Ezekiel 22:19-22

After 1848 years of dispersion across the globe, from 70AD to 1948, the Jewish people were gathered to the State of Israel in 1948 as the place where God unleashes His anger on them. That is also described in Ezekiel 20:34. God leaves them there like cheap metal burning in a fire to cause them to melt, which is His anger and fury being poured out on them. The Jewish people are compared to cheap metal, and not gold, because they rejected Jesus Christ 2000 years ago. God’s will for them is to accept Jesus as their Savior and to embrace the presence of the Holy Spirit.

There is an expression that goes, “…out of the frying pan and into the fire…”, which describes Israel’s situation in the Middle East. As soon as the Jewish people were gathered to Israel in 1948, the furnace was lit, the fire was blown on, and the melt-down of Israel began. The fiery wrath of God began to be unleashed against them. In the same year the State of Israel was established, the Israelis were already at war, and have been in 17 wars since that time, Click for a list of those wars and scroll close to the bottom of the page.

The fires of God’s judgment keep burning from all directions against Israel. Sometime in January 2024, the members of the United Nations opened a case of genocide against the State of Israel, World Court to hear Genocide Case Against Israel. The UN has also sought arrest warrants for alleged war crimes against government officials of Israel. Around February 20, 2024, the United States declared that it was illegal for the Israelis to occupy the West Bank. Click here for news article on “White House reverses West Bank policy, calling Israeli settlements illegal“. Also, US Imposes Sanctions On Israeli Settler Outposts. On top of that, the global culture from cities around the world riot and protest against the existence of an independent State of Israel.

There are even fires burning within the State of Israel. The Israeli citizens riot and protest against their own government to demand conformity to the will of the United Nations. The will of the UN is for a unified Middle East to empower themselves as the one world government. The independence of Israel is an obstacle to that goal, and at the same time, the global government is an instrument to carry out the wrath of God against Israel. The sin-plagued global government is coming against the wayward Jewish people, but the enemy of Israel is the same enemy that despises the Holiness of God. The Holiness of God cannot tolerate the rebellion of Israel, nor can God tolerate the one world government of the beast. The judgment coming against Israel will come against the whole world, and Salvation is reserved for those who serve God through Jesus Christ.

The governors, prophets, priests, and citizens of Israel are spiritually corrupt.
Israel is like a land not cleansed in the day of indignation. “And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, “Son of man, say to her: ‘You are a land that is not cleansed or rained on in the day of indignation.’” Ezekiel 22:23-24

At this point, the Jewish people have been gathered to the State of Israel, so this verse refers to Israel from the year 1948 to the present. The land of Israel is not cleansed nor has been rained on and is living in the day of God’s indignation.

Living for God through Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin, but the Jewish culture is not cleansed because they do not walk in the Light of Christ, “But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.” 1 John 1:7 The Jewish culture has discarded the entire New Testament, which is the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and they only live by the Old Testament. As quoted, “The law and the prophets were until John. Since that time the kingdom of God has been preached, and everyone is pressing into it.” Luke 16:16

The land of Israel is not being rained on, and rain is what enables life to blossom on this earth. In the Spirit, the rain refers to the Holy Spirit that nourishes the human spirit to give blossom to the fruit of the Spirit. Jesus Christ gives us the Holy Spirit to allow the fruit of the Spirit to blossom within us. Those fruit include such qualities as peace, meekness, gentleness, love, kindness, goodwill, patience, self-control, perseverance, faith, joy, and goodness. As we see today, Israel is in so much tumult, conflict, and war that the rain of the Holy Spirit is not falling, “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.” Galatians 5:22-23

The land of Israel is living in the day of the Lord’s indignation, as described in the previous section of verses 19-22. Israel has been in 17 wars since being established in 1948 as the State of Israel. The members of the United Nations are hostile against Israel, the government and people of the United States are growing more and more distant from Israel, the global culture in every city around the world protest and riot against Israel, and the Israeli citizens join in those protests and riots against their own government.

Our Lord Jesus Christ wants better for Israel, “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! See! Your house is left to you desolate; for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’” Matthew 23:37-39

Israel’s prophets conspire to devour souls and have made many widows. “The conspiracy of her prophets in her midst is like a roaring lion tearing the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken treasure and precious things; they have made many widows in her midst.” Ezekiel 22:25 

The Jewish culture of today is the result of the actions of the Jewish people 2000 years ago. The Jewish leaders of the day when our Lord Jesus Christ walked on this earth considered the Gospel of Jesus to be a conspiracy against their way of life, against the Jewish culture. They were like a roaring lion devouring the soul of the Jewish people by tearing them from the will of God for them to receive Jesus Christ as their Savior. They stole the great treasure and precious things of Jesus Christ from the heart of the people and instead of causing marriage to Him, they made widows.

The verses in the next paragraph is a prophecy warning those faithful to God not to think that Jesus Christ is a conspiracy against them. The Pharisees during the day of our Lord Jesus were threatening the Jewish people against believing in Jesus Christ, causing them to be troubled in spirit and soul. The people were advised in this way, “And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” Matthew 10:28 The Jewish people were advised that Jesus Christ is a sanctuary for believers but an offense and stumbling block for unbelievers. The Jewish people who rejected Jesus Christ are fallen, broken, in a snare, and are taken in this world. As faithful followers of Jesus Christ, we are to embrace and hold to His testimony and the Holy Spirit.

“For the Lord spoke thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying: “Do not say, ‘A conspiracy,’ Concerning all that this people call a conspiracy, nor be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled. The Lord of hosts, Him you shall hallow; Let Him be your fear, and let Him be your dread. He will be as a sanctuary, but a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense to both the houses of Israel, as a trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And many among them shall stumble; They shall fall and be broken, be snared and taken.” Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.” Isaiah 8:11-16

We live in times when the churches and the majority of the world are like a roaring lion tearing the prey, the prey being the followers of Jesus Christ. The roaring lion is the entity that has power over physiology to give people what to think, feel, say, and do. This entity tears apart the human spirit and conscience to tear people away from the Spirit of Christ. That is done to enable the image of the beast to speak and live through people as the soul is devoured. This entity robs the spirit and soul of the treasure and precious things of our Lord Jesus Christ. Widows are made of many people as they suffer death to Jesus Christ. The masses of today’s culture are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do.

“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.” 1 Peter 5:8-11

Israel’s priests have done violence to the word of God and His Holiness. “Her priests have done violence to My law and profaned My holy things; they have not distinguished between the holy and unholy, nor have they made known the difference between the unclean and the clean; and they have hidden their eyes from My Sabbaths, so that I am profaned among them.” Ezekiel 22:26.

The post on Ezekiel 21, specifically verse 3, describes not being able to make known the difference between the unclean and clean, and says, “‘Thus says the Lord: “Behold, I am against you, and I will draw My sword out of its sheath and cut off both righteous and wicked from you.” Ezekiel 21:3 There was no righteousness, no wickedness, no sense of sin, no soul.

Today, the Jewish culture does violence to the Old Testament scriptures by closing their eyes and ears to the “scarlet cord”, which points to Jesus Christ as their Savior. The Old Testament is all about Jesus Christ. For example, Jesus Christ said, “For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote about Me. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?” John 5:46-47 Also, “By faith Moses, when he became of age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin, esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt; for he looked to the reward.” Hebrews 11:24-26 And also, “...and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ.” 1 Corinthians 10:4

The Jewish culture of today has profaned the Holy things of God and are no longer able to distinguish between the Holy and unHoly nor between the unclean and clean. They have closed their eyes to the Sabbaths, meaning the Sabbaths are not used as God intended them to be used. The Sabbaths are supposed to teach people in the ways of sanctification through Jesus Christ, to teach between Holiness and sin, between being cleansed through the sacrifice of Jesus and uncleanliness without Him. Without the Gospel of Jesus Christ, God is profaned within the Jewish culture. In other words, they are lacking righteousness as they combat wickedness which leaves their soul empty of the Spirit of God through Jesus Christ.

We live in a world today that has removed any notion of people being sinners in need of the remission of sin through Jesus Christ. The culture of today makes no distinction between right or wrong, Holy or unholy, nor of spiritually clean or unclean. In fact, the human conscience and spirit is replaced by the entity that gives people what to feel, think, say, and do. This entity enables the image of the beast to speak and live through people, and that is this world’s answer to fighting against wickedness. Those without righteousness are the ones fighting against wickedness which results in the oppression of all those who are not participants within today’s culture. Today’s culture is groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do.

Today’s global culture worships the creature human being instead of God the Creator, as humanism is the fig leaf worn to cover the entity governing through physiology. Humanism is “…an outlook or system of thought attaching prime importance to human rather than divine or supernatural matters. Humanist beliefs stress the potential value and goodness of human beings, emphasize common human needs, and seek solely rational ways of solving human problems.”

When people are trained against focusing on right and wrong, Holy and unholy, and clean and unclean, they act as human robots against wickedness. God has said that this day would come when the righteous and wicked are removed from this world, “Behold, I am against you, and I will draw My sword out of its sheath and cut off both righteous and wicked from you.” Ezekiel 21:3 When both the righteous and the wicked are cut off, this describes a world culture similar to human robots that have no sense of sin, no righteousness, no wickedness, and no soul.

Like the picture below, the masses of the global culture are like human robots who have no sense of sin, no righteousness, and no tolerance for “wickedness” against them.

God wants our human spirit and conscience to remain alive as human beings, that is why He sent His Son Jesus Christ to be born as a fleshly human being in the Spirit of God, “…that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit. But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers.” 1 Peter 4:6-7 We are living in the end of all times when people have become more of a human robot than a human being with a spirit and conscience. “Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.” John 3:5

Israel’s Governors are like wolves tearing the prey. “Her princes in her midst are like wolves tearing the prey, to shed blood, to destroy souls, and to get dishonest gain.” Ezekiel 22:27 

The princes of the house of Israel are like the governors or prime ministers of today’s State of Israel. Ezekiel, by the word of God, compares them to wolves tearing apart sheep. They shed blood, destroy souls, and profit by dishonest actions. Today, every prime minister of Israel has been involved in at least one war, and there has been 14 prime ministers and 17 wars, as quoted, “Look, the princes of Israel: each one has used his arm to shed blood in you.” Ezekiel 22:6. The previous section on verse 6 gives a list of those wars and each prime minister. They indeed have used their authority to shed blood.

The leadership of the Jewish culture, and indeed of the Israelis in the State of Israel, are destroying souls. The soul of every human being belongs to God and can only be reconciled to Him by the forgiveness of sin through Jesus Christ. Those souls are destroyed when Jesus Christ is rejected. The leaders of the Jewish people have discarded Jesus Christ, thrown aside the entire New Testament, which is the gospel of Jesus Christ. They only live by the Old Testament and do not teach that the body is created to be the home of the Holy Spirit, “Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.” 1 Corinthians 3:16

In the eyes of God, dishonest gain is to choose the prosperity of this world while not considering the prosperity of the spirit, soul, and eternal life that He gives to us through Jesus Christ, “For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?” Mark 8:36-38 Also, “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Matthew 6:19-21

The entity that gives people what to think, feel, do, and say has set itself up as the governor, prime minister, or president of the soul. Jesus Christ is mocked as the King of kings and Lord of lords, as described, “Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole garrison around Him. And they stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him. When they had twisted a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and a reed in His right hand. And they bowed the knee before Him and mocked Him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” Then they spat on Him, and took the reed and struck Him on the head. And when they had mocked Him, they took the robe off Him, put His own clothes on Him, and led Him away to be crucified.” Matthew 27:27-31

The entity giving people what to think, feel, say, and do is destroying the soul of the people as it enables the image of the beast to speak and live through them. They are like wolves tearing apart the prey. The only thing they care about is prosperity in the realm of this world as they scoff at belief in eternal life. Their plan is to the create an earthly Garden of Eden as the one world government and will put down anyone who fights against them. The global culture is groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do.

Israel is being plastered with untempered mortar. “Her prophets plastered them with untempered mortar, seeing false visions, and divining lies for them, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord God,’ when the Lord had not spoken.” Ezekiel 22:28

“Untempered mortar” is like using tartar sauce to hold brick together when building a house. There is no possible way for a house built like that to stand. The description of the Tower of Babel describes what happens when a population of people tries to build with unsuitable mortar.

Today, we see how the State of Israel is crumbling after being built with “untempered mortar”. Israel has become a reproach to the international community and the global culture because of their tumultuous existence. The false visions and lies told by the Jewish leaders were that Israel could be a nation in this world without living in the will of God. The will of God for Israel is for them to live for Jesus Christ and to embrace the presence of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is symbolized by the symbol of a dove, with peace, meekness, and gentleness, not bombs, guns, protests and riots.

The Jewish people are trying to live by the Old Testament scriptures without Jesus Christ. They have discarded the entire New Testament, which is the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and live only by the Old Testament. As the word of God says, “The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy”. Revelation 19:10 If we want to know where the world is within prophecy we only have to look at where Jesus is within the world. Jesus Christ was sent to Israel and all of us to bring the word of God, and the gospel of Jesus Christ is to be listened to, “And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.” Matthew 7:26-27

The Jewish people were meant to be followers of Jesus Christ and to build their life on the foundation He laid for them. If they were Christians, the Jewish State of Israel would never have existed, and it would not be crumbling as it is today. As Christians, we do not have a nation on this earth to call our own, our nation is the New Jerusalem in the new heaven and earth. “…let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole. This is the ‘stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.’ Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:10-12

Today, the world government is full of false visions as they proclaim the global “sustainability goals” as the path to an earthly utopia. They lie to its global culture by telling them the road to peace, stability, and harmony is by welcoming the entity that governs through their thoughts, feelings, words, and behaviors. That entity is the untempered mortar this present world system is built with. This entity enables the image of the beast to live and speak through everyone and they are emboldened to boast, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?” Revelation 13:4 They are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do. They deny God, reject Jesus Christ, and oppress the Holy Spriit.

Even as we see the State of Israel crumbling, we see the world government beginning to crumble before it even comes into its full power as the one world government. Global warming is the Fourth Plague of revelation 16:8-9 and the stronger the United Nations becomes as the one world government the stronger and more intense global warming becomes. Global warming is instrumental in bringing the collapse of the power center of the beast [Fifth Plague of Revelation 16:10-11], which brings the collapse of the global government of the beast and its culture. They will be rendered powerless because the collapse of the power center means the end of the entity that has power over physiology to influence thoughts, feelings, words, and behaviors. In that powerlessness comes the Battle of Armageddon [Sixth Plague of revelation 16:12-17], the Day of the Lord, and the return of Jesus Christ. Click here for a list of the Seven Plagues.

Israelis use oppression, robbery, and mistreatment of the poor and needy. “The people of the land have used oppressions, committed robbery, and mistreated the poor and needy; and they wrongfully oppress the stranger.” Ezekiel 22:29

Within the culture of the Israelites, there were those who wanted to dominate others to empower themselves above all others and to become rich in the process. The laws of God, like the Ten Commandments, stood in their way so they abandoned God and His will for the Israelites. They ignored the two greatest commandments to love God with all their heart, soul, and mind and to love their neighbor as themselves. Instead, they used physical force and intimidation to oppress other Israelites, to rob, to mistreat the poor and needy, and to wrongfully oppress the non-Jewish stranger. Those who use others like an ATM machine will also mistreat those who have nothing to offer.

The Jewish people of today use oppression to keep Jesus Christ from being part of their culture. By oppressing the New Testament and keeping the Gospel of Jesus Christ suppressed, the Jewish people are oppressed so they do not become followers of Jesus Christ. The leaders of the Jewish culture have committed robbery by thinking they can serve God without going through Jesus Christ, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that enters not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber…Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.” John 10:1, 7 The Jewish culture mistreats those who are poor and in need of the Water of Life that Jesus Christ offers. They are mistreated in that everything that makes the spirit rich and fulfilled in the Holy Spirit is withheld from them. The Jewish culture wrongfully oppresses the non-Jewish culture by suppressing their inclusion as citizens in their society.

Today’s world system is empowered by an entity that oppresses anyone who does not live by the thoughts, feelings, words, and behaviors given to them. The spirit, conscience, and soul are robbed of the belief in the Living God. The acknowledgement of the need for the forgiveness of sin through Jesus Christ is stolen, and the presence of the Holy Spirit is defrauded. The entity giving people what to think, feel, say, and do uses its power over physiology to enable the image of the beast to speak and live through people. The poor and needy who oppose its presence are mistreated as outcasts of today’s culture. The masses of the global culture are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do, everyone else are wrongfully oppressed as strangers. The poor and needy are considered a liability on the balance sheet of the society of the beast.

As followers of Jesus Christ, we want His Spirit to live in us, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed; To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.” Luke 4:18-19

The lack of leadership among the prophets and governors brings the wrath of God.
God cannot find anyone to stand for Him and Israel i consumed by His wrath. “So I sought for a man among them who would make a wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found no one. Therefore I have poured out My indignation on them; I have consumed them with the fire of My wrath; and I have recompensed their deeds on their own heads,” says the Lord God.” Ezekiel 22:30-31.

God seeks for people who will make a wall against sin and the ways of this world by living for Jesus Christ in the presence of the Holy Spirit. We are those people who stand in the gap on His behalf, and that gap is the place that allows sin to seep into the spirit and soul. By standing in the gap in the name of Jesus Christ, we are a plug to prevent the spread of sin. We are the stopgap against atheism that does not believe in the Living God, a stopgap against the rejection of Jesus Christ, and a stopgap against the oppression of the presence of the Holy Spirit. Being that wall and stopgap is the path to Salvation and ternal life.

With the Israelites, there was not a person to make a wall or to stand in the gap to prevent rebellion against God and His laws. The laws of God were rebelled against, such as the ten Commandments. Today, there is not a person within the Jewish culture who will build a wall or stand in the gap with Jesus Christ. The entire New Testament, which is the Gospel of Jesus Christ, has been tossed aside. There is no wall or stopgap to prevent the loss of service to God, no way to stop the drainage of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and no way to prevent the disappearance of the presence of the Holy Spirit. For that reason, as we see today, the indignation of God is being poured out on the State of Israel. They are being consumed by the fire of His wrath and recompensed for their spiritual wickedness.

Today, God cannot find anyone to make a wall and to stand in the gap against sin, “All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.” Revelation 13:8 The “him” in this verse is the beast of the image and mark of the beast. Today’s culture, which is global, lives by the entity giving them what to think, feel, do, and say as it enables the image of the beast to speak and live through people. The masses of the global culture are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do.

God is going to pour out His indignation and fire of His wrath on the world government and its global culture. We already see it beginning to happen as global warming is here, which is the Fourth Plague of Revelation 16:8-9. The more powerful the world government becomes as the one world government the more intense the heat of global warming becomes. The deeds of today’s culture will be recompensed on their own heads, “For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. Render to her just as she rendered to you, and repay her double according to her works; in the cup which she has mixed, mix double for her. In the measure that she glorified herself and lived luxuriously, in the same measure give her torment and sorrow; for she says in her heart, ‘I sit as queen, and am no widow, and will not see sorrow.’” Revelation 18:5-7

There is Salvation for all who believe in Jesus Christ, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:1
